2018 F150 swap 18 inch for 20 inch
I have myself a brand new 2018 XLT Supercrew, with the 18 inch chrome wheels. And I'm not really crazy about chrome wheels.
Looking on the local Craigslist, I find new take offs, 20 inch Ford wheels and tires, for around $1200. If I do this, will I need to have my speedometer re-calibrated, or does the diameter wind up about the same?
Yes, I could do some research, look up exactly what size tires I have, and excatly what size tires come in the factory 20 inch package, and use the calculator at Tire Rack, but hey, I'm lazy, and I'll bet others have already done the homework.

My tires are 265/60 R18. If the 20 inch Ford wheels and tires are indeed 275/55 R20, then the circumference goes from 30.5 inches to 31.9 inches, a difference of +4.6%.
So 70 mph indicated would be 73.22 mph. Would I want to pay for a recalibration based on that small of a difference? Hmmm….

In any event going up an inch doesn’t warrant recalibration of the speedo.
